About Lucky's Book Shop

Lucky's Book Shop is the outlet store of Scholastic New Zealand, on Lady Ruby Drive in East Tāmaki, Auckland. It is a place to find books at the end of their print run, because the shelves hold seconds and surplus stock left over from Book Club and Book Fairs. Shoppers come for children's and young readers' books that they might otherwise pay full price for elsewhere, and the stock is the shop's whole point.

Payment is by card or payWave only, as the shop does not take cash. The business sits in an industrial part of East Tāmaki, so it suits a planned trip for families with a list of titles in mind. The shop is part of a larger publisher, so it draws from the same warehouse that supplies the school Book Club, which explains the range of stock. Its Google rating is 4.9.
